The Rest of the Story—Detecting With Ray Mills

December 2018 by Scott Harn

Ray followed up by detecting the same area and I was happy to see that he did not find any good targets in the same line. So far so good.

The Alaska Highway and Beyond

October 2013
My first clean-up showed that my efforts were not in vain. There was considerable color with some good-sized nuggets in the riffle trap.

The Madonna Nugget

October 2013
It was down deeper than I expected for surface trash. It wasn't until I was down six inches that the target screamed from my scoop.

Ancient River Channels of Trinity County

June 2013
Trinity County is located in the far northwest corner of California and stirs up many different memories for those who have been there.

Trying Out the New Highbanker

February 2012
The 2011 gold season had finally got underway on the Middle Fork of the Feather River near Quincy, California. Cold weather and high water had pushed gold mining into mid-summer, but things were looking up.

Prospecting Hard Rock

March 2014
We panned out maybe three gold pans of the material and we were shocked at the gold that was there. This rock appeared to be rich.

Sierra County Gold—Part II

January 2014
...we will continue our examination of the rich streams and mining districts, and then take a look at some of the big nuggets that have been found here.

While recovery rates are important, they must necessarily be secondary to the volume of material processed. Running more material at lower recovery rates is generally preferable to increasing the efficiency of the system.
